- Okonkwo had criticised Labour Party leadership
Kenneth Okonkwo, a veteran actor and politician, has dismissed reports that he plans to return to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Okonkwo had criticised Labour Party (LP) leadership, calling them “clowns”.
The former LP presidential spokesman vowed to dump the party if it continues on a “trajectory where they cannot even hold an acceptable national convention.”
In an interview aired by a news platform, Symfoni on Thursday, Okonkwo said: “My own Labour Party is not impressing me. Assuming they continue on this trajectory where they cannot even hold an acceptable national convention, then you’d tell me I’d be there?
“Those people are clowns. It is the greatest joke I have ever seen in a political party and then you want to position yourself as a party of integrity. You cannot give what you don’t have.
“Aburi and his cohorts, their tenure is over. Let Aburi and his cohorts get behind me. They are workers of iniquity. I don’t rate them. That executive is in charge of the secret society. They should be apprehended.”
While he didn’t rule out joining another party, he took to social media to debunk the rumours of his return to APC, calling them “fake news” and accusing those spreading the reports of being mischief makers.
